Adam: So this one is busted, Jamie. But what would it take for Mars to support life?Jamie: Well, one big problem comes to mind, and that's the lack of an appropriate atmosphere, and the lack of a strong magnetic field to hold the atmosphere in place.Adam: Actually, I think I know how to solve that one.Jamie: That's perfect, because I have an idea of the perfect life form for this little experiment.

Narrator Robert Lee: So while Jamie heads to the Mythbusters kitchen, Adam makes tracks to... a christmas present?

Adam: As you may remember from some of our past myths, like deflecting a bullet with magnets, I LOVE magnets. And for some reason people keep giving me bigger and bigger ones. And so I happen to have one just the right size...Audible clunkAdam:...for the core of Mars.

Was actually doing a Mythbuster marathon on netflix earlier, went to go take a little reddit break. I was smilling all the way through, and then I read the name...Intros when he says that are the best.

flying_aspidistra explains it better. I over-simplified quite a bit because, honestly, I was trying to finish writing before Spiff69's comment got buried. In reality on the show they would illustrate the effect in question using a "science content" segment and/or some small scale demonstrations.

If every game and movie ever is anything to go by, any artificial organism that a human creates will eventually cause havoc and become so out of control that destroying the planet is the only option. May as well cut to the chase.

The Mythbusters always seemed like cool, level-headed guys who probably loved science and the earth and all, but it's always irked me how much pollution they cause with unnecessary explosions and demolitions.

"After two years exploration Curiosity found trace amounts of H2O in some patches of sediment, therefor Jamie I'm going to say Myth plausible. Now let's buy military grade explosives to blow the thing up with the rest of that $100 Billion that that dumb ass kid on Facebook said we spent initially!"

I'm no astrophysicist, but I doubt it. I don't think Mars is massive enough to have much of a gravitational effect on the rest of the solar system, so there probably wouldn't be any major changes on orbits. Chances are we'd just end up with a second asteroid belt in the Mars orbit.

It would be affected, but exactly how is an impossibly complex mathematical problem. N-body orbital calculations for many bodies are impossible and that's why we have to calculate orbits through high-resolution simulations. The fact that Mars' mass wouldn't actually go anywhere but would just slowly start spreading makes even simulations completely unfeasible.

So it would have some effect on everyone else's orbit, but it's impossible to predict what.

Well, they're not really advertising themselves as scientists. They just say in the intro that try have worked in special effects for a long time, from what I remember. But, the excessive amount of "science" experiments can lead one to think they might be "scientists".

Having watched enough Mythbusters, I am pretty sure that if you wrap enough C-4 in enough duct tape, you can create life, the universe, and everything. I think 42 fits in that equation somewhere, and I may have just figured out the big bang...

Fucking facebook!! Fuck. If I wanted to read your stupid comment, i would be on facebook. Fuck tards. Yeah real fucking funny. Like nuke the shit out of mars. fuckers. And do you plan to do that? Lunch all of all nukes at mars then enjoy the light show 8 months later. fuck. and gues what? fucking mars will still fucking be there. Wht, cuz we can't fucking blow a fucking planet, dip shit!! get off my page fuck nut.
